My Wife is a Hacker by Summer

Chapter 1239
"Is this necessary?" Martin asked, worried about the worker's reactions, and how they would be affected.
"Yes." Nicole answered him firmly.
"By the way, one question. Have you recruited any new employees as of recent?" Nicole asked, having suddenly thought about
it.
"I did. Last week, the maintenance guy was too busy. They insisted that we get more hands on deck. They have been working
hard, so I agreed to it." Martin looked at Jared and Nicole as he recalled.
"How many people were recruited?"
"There were five."
"Focus on investigating these five people," Jared advised.
"Okay. I'll do so right away," Martin said.
"Wait." Nicole stopped Martin, who was about to leave.
"Is there something else?" Martin whirled around to look at Nicole.
“Find an excuse to do so. The last thing you'd want to do is spook them," Nicole advised.
“Okay.” Martin went out after they were done speaking.
Then, Nicole turned to look at Claus and said, "You have worked really hard. Go home and get some rest."
"You're welcome. This is just what I do," Claus said respectfully, and looked at Jared, who nodded before the latter proceeded to
leave.
Nicole glanced at Jared and said, "They really are your men. I can't order them around.”
“Well of course, if they take orders from everyone, would they still be my men? If you want him to listen to you, I can order him to
do so," Jared said as he looked at her.

“No, you better keep him for yourself. There's nothing important here anymore. Go back to your office and get busy," Nicole
urged Jared.
“Are you going to stay here?" Jared looked at her and asked.
"Not really. Maybe I'll go home in a while, or do you want me to accompany you to the office?" Nicole raised her eyebrows as she
eyed him.
Jared thought, 'If she wanted to, she could think about it.’
Jared initially wanted to bring her to the office, but when he suddenly remembered the text message Fiorella had sent him last
night, he decided not to, as Fiorella would come to the office to find him today.
“That won't be necessary. You've worked hard enough. Why don't you go back to your grandma's and have a good rest. It's been
a few days since you came home. Your work abroad must still be waiting for you, right?" Jared said, attempting to balance
between his own interests in her, and his wish to prevent another misunderstanding.
"Makes sense," she said. "It's about time I return to Lanningbourg. It's an important week, after all"
"In that case, I won't be sending you off. I'll see you tonight."
Nicole waved at him.
"See you tonight." Jared hugged her and walked out.
From the window upstairs, Nicole watched as Jared got in his car and left. She then sat down and calmly pondered. ‘Who was
the person who started the fire? Is there anyone backing them up?
Why did they burn the factory down if someone was behind it? Was it a case of jealousy after they had seen the Beacon? Or was
it Joyce, who probably came back for revenge? Or is there someone else?'
Many questions kept popping up in Nicole's mind.
After a while, Martin walked in, and noticing that Jared was not there, he asked, "Where's Mr. Johnston?"
Nicole raised her head and looked at Martin. 'He had left. Have you started your investigation?"

"It's already in motion. At first, everyone was anxious, but after I reassured them, things became alright."
"The five newly recruited are being investigated now, right?" Nicole asked Martin.
